    Default Get The Oil Off Your Blade !

    I just finished reading a post , which prompted me to write this one .
    When you recieve a shave ready razor with oil on the blade , remove the oil with hot water or rubbing alcohol before you strop and shave with it .

    I just wipe mine with a kleenex tissue. So far so good.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    When I get a new blade (new to me), I wipe off any oil with a towell but then disinfect with the rubbing alchohol. May be overkill but what the hey.

    I have a great microfiber towel that I love to use to get the oil off. Then into the rubbing alcohol....

    I just rinse it under hot water, then wipe dry.


    On a ebay razor, i spray it down with clippercide and let it sit.

    Unless it's a thick oil that has solidified, I don't see the need to clean it off at all. Just shave with it as normal.

    Sometimes I strop a razor in advance and put (Ballistol) oil on it. Shaving without cleaning the blade works just fine.

    depends on where you got the razor from. when i ship mine, they have mineral oil on them. nothing harmful there to the body.
